The car that can read your mind

CITROEN has developed a head turning concept car that can feel and read the road and pre-empt thoughts from its passengers.

Called the 19_19 to celebrate the centenary of the proud French brand in 2019, the concept car boasts enormous 30-inch tyres morphed into the wheel frame.

But it's the technology embedded in the hybrid Goodyear tyres that separates them from mere round black things.

Each tyre is equipped with sensors claimed to make it "predictive", able to scan the road ahead and adjust other parameters of the suspension and even alert the driver to issues, such as potholes.

Citroen 19_19 concept will be able to predict and adjust to the road ahead.

Combined with a more advanced version of Citroen's Progressive Hydraulic Cushions and an active suspension system, it's claimed to deliver a "magic carpet ride" ensuring the cabin "remains completely stable and movement-free".

It's all about returning Citroen to its glory days when it was known for innovation, particularly with suspension systems that often created a plush ride.
